AlcoholEdu for College Students

alcohol and drug education program

What is AlcoholEdu?

AlcoholEdu for College is an on-line alcohol education tool administered by Everfi. AlcoholEdu for College is designed as a Population-Level Prevention program to be given to an entire population of students, such as an entering first-year class. This method creates a learning experience that:

motivates behavior change;

resets unrealistic expectations about the effects of alcohol;

links choices about drinking to academic and personal success;

and helps students practice healthier and safer decision-making.

In addition to providing a baseline of alcohol education for all incoming students, AlcoholEdu collects survey data from students as they complete the course. The AlcoholEdu for College course has three major components: a knowledge-based pre and post-test, surveys of attitudes and behaviors at three points in time, and several hours of course content. Boston College began implementing this program with all incoming freshman during the 2004-2005 academic year and has been using it ever since.
